Chapter 469 Whitelist (22)
In the past, if you wanted to go on a business trip, you needed to make a lot of preparations.
The weather in the exile area is ever-changing, and going today and tomorrow may have two different consequences, so most merchants will choose the appropriate travel time according to their own routes.
And before going on a trip, all kinds of situations need to be considered.
Not only do you need to consider the weather, but you also need to consider the supplies on the road. You also need to seriously consult the immortal master and spend a lot of money to buy the possible weather map in the future before you dare to set off.
But with the help of Manager Zhao, these are not problems.
Because of the city lord, this trip became a political task, and a large amount of resources were poured down, so that Bian Jia had never fought such a rich war in his eight lives.
In one day, a large caravan was formed, and it also let Bian Jia see what kind of power it would be if part of the power of the city lord's mansion was tilted out.
After worshiping the heaven and earth and asking for good and bad luck, Bian Jia was ready and set off with the caravan again to buy the food that the city lord wanted.
Walking on the road, Bian Jia still had a feeling that it was not real.
A few days ago, he was just an ordinary merchant, but now he has become a celebrity in the city lord's mansion. The fate of a person is really like a lonely boat in the waves. It is really beyond one's control.
Holding the bamboo slips, he looked at the map inside, determined the direction of travel, and then continued to read the chat content inside.
Chat content is an important function after this version update. Through this function, merchants can chat near the city and consult other people about other towns.
Everyone who chats is anonymous, so there is no need to worry about others seeing through their identities.
I thought that no one would tell the truth in this environment, but after the actual experience, Bian Jia found that there are very few people lying here.
In reality, face-to-face conversations often have to be separated by a layer. But in the Shentong Network, everyone is wearing anonymity, but they are more honest.
Bian Jia didn't have much time to speak, and most of the time he was reading the content inside, but this also benefited him a lot.
[I came to Yuelong City today. I heard that the fire copper here is difficult to buy, but after coming here, I found that fire copper is actually easy to buy. ]
[There are too many piles, and most of them are buying various foods now. I didn't expect that the cold fish slices that we were about to vomit here would become treasures in other places. If I had known, I would have sold more. 】
【I knew it before, but the cold fish slices are eaten fresh. If they are not stored properly, they will go bad in two days and naturally cannot be sold. But now I find that they can be stored longer after being treated with Mocheng's incense. Although the taste is not as good as before, it has a different flavor. 】
【...Brother, that's cold salted fish. 】
【I don't care whether it's salted fish or not, as long as it tastes good. 】
Seeing this, Bian Jia laughed and felt that these people were all talented and spoke well. He liked this place very much.
But after seeing a message, he suddenly stopped.
【I purchased a batch of white snow pears and various fruits and vegetables, and they are almost home, but my city lord suddenly sent a message saying that he wanted to drink Bingxin wine. Who has Bingxin wine, I am willing to exchange. My current position is...】
After reading this message, Bian Jia's mind became hot.
If what the other party said was true, then the other party happened to be nearby, and it was just right for an exchange.
Of course, the other party might also be a bandit in disguise, but Bian Jia felt that this possibility was not high.
Moreover, he had the elite of the City Lord's Mansion around him, so he could escape unscathed even if he encountered bandits. It was indeed worth a gamble.
There was no punishment for losing the bet, and if he won the bet, he could save more than half of the journey, which was too cost-effective.
So, he immediately contacted the other party and said that he was also nearby and could exchange.
The two parties agreed on the location, and in less than half a day, Bian Jia saw the other party's convoy.
Like himself, the other party was also traveling with a political mission.
The accompanying caravan was quite large, and the accompanying carriage was also full of goods.
Seeing the approaching caravan, the monk in charge of guarding immediately grabbed the magic weapon, but was restrained by a young monk.
The monk on the opposite side looked tall and strong, but he could not feel the blood on his body, which looked quite strange.
The leading monk was quite young, but his mana was condensed, and he had already reached the foundation-building stage. Bian Jia felt that he must be a hero, otherwise he would not be so outstanding.
Asking his people not to act rashly, Bian Jia stepped forward and stated his purpose. The other party smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, we thought we had to make another trip. Our fruit trees are on the truck. Do you want to check the goods and then decide on an exchange method?"
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
Bian Jia stepped forward and carefully checked the goods in the other party's truck, but the more he looked, the more strange it became.
The other party's goods were varied, with goods from all over the place, and the things were quite complete.
Some of the goods had been seen by himself, and some of the goods had only been seen in "Outlander".
However, in terms of quality, the goods here were of high quality and met the needs of the city lord, so they should not be missed.
After carefully checking the goods on each truck, Bian Jia asked the other party to come to his fleet to inspect the goods.
Although this process was cumbersome, it was an indispensable part.
In the exile area, trust is a fatal flaw. Many cautious merchants failed because of trust and ended up losing everything.
After confirming that everything was correct, the two sides began to haggle over the value of the truck. Finally, they agreed on a price that both parties were satisfied with and started the transaction.
One truck after another was traded separately. After exchanging the approved goods, the young man bowed to Bian Jia and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bian. I hope we can communicate again in the future."
"Each other...wait, how do you know who I am?"
The other party smiled lightly, did not explain much, but took his caravan away, and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.
Bian Jia immediately checked the goods and found that there was no problem with the goods. He was relieved, but still couldn't understand why the other party knew his name.
However, he didn't figure it out until he returned to Baiyue City.
Since he didn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore.
This business trip took only four days from departure to return.
Looking at the goods brought back, Manager Zhao naturally praised it. Bian Jia, who was originally just a second-rate small family, became a hot figure in Baiyue City. Every family wanted to exchange experiences with him.
However, Bian Jia began to think about another question.
Is it feasible to exchange goods midway?
In the past, to purchase goods, you need to go to the other party's town and come back after the purchase.
But now, as long as both parties choose a suitable place in the middle, and then make the delivery here.
Compared with the previous method, this method can reduce the time on the road by half, so the funds can be recovered faster, and each business trip can save more time, and it is safer.
However, this method is good, but how should it be established?
While Bian Jia was thinking, the young man who traded with him also embarked on the road back to Mocheng.
Lin Yuan drank Bingxin wine, added Bian Jia's information to the whitelist, and then said with satisfaction: "Okay, this Bian Jia is good, you can add it to the whitelist."
